Primitive Augsburg Chess

Introduction

Augsburg Chess is a variant first seen in fairy problems where pieces are allowed to move into cells  occupied by friendly pieces thus creating a single super-piece.

Set-up

The game is played on a board of 10x10 squares
Each player starts the game with 30 pieces - 2 each of Senator, Longbowman, Tower, Deacon, Knight, Elephant, Camel, Bishop, and Rook; 10 Pawns, 1 Queen and 1 King.
There are two other types of pieces not on the board at the start - Wazir and Ferz.

Pieces

The Wazir and Ferz are the primitive pieces from which the first-order compound pieces of Knight, Elephant, and Camel are constructed.  These first-order compounds may be used to build the second-order compound pieces of Bishop, Rook, Tower, Deacon, and Longbowman.  Finally there are the two third-order compounds of Queen and Senator.  The King and Pawns play no part in the formation of compound pieces.
